Has Whole Language Failed?

Krashen, Stephen

ESL Magazine, v1 n6 p8-10 Nov-Dec 1998

Examines why the whole-language approach to literacy development has failed, presenting several definitions of whole language, discussing some of the research on whole language and whether it works, and providing information about the impact of whole language in California (which suggests that California's reading-performance problems are not related to whole language).
